When is the best time to be selfish.
Or rather,
Is there a type of selfish that does not hurt anyone at all?

I just realised, a couple of months back, i had a fall out with a friend as she was being selfish. Selfish to her family, for the sake of her own freedom and happiness.

Can i fault her situation for being selfish? Can i say it was unfair to both her parents & siblings that she decided to pave her own happiness?
Am i here telling her shes doing it all wrong cause she went against her parents?

On the contrary, the move made her more independent, risk-taking & knowing that every decision she makes is crucial right now as she only have got herself.

But what about the people around her? The hurt that they felt from this whole scenario. From a family point of view.

So when is being selfish right? Someones gonna get hurt somewhere along the line. There is only one party thats gonna be happy about it. Or rather, felt liberated but sad at the same time.

Its just a matter of risk taking, i guess. & if we fail, we start over.Or maybe we dont have the courage to start over. So we hang on the line.

But wouldnt you feel liberated? Lifted?
Or is it meant to be momentary?
Then by the time we knew what is meant to be ours to keep?

Isnt it?

Toying with the lines of what is happiness.
What is happy?
Do you place it on something? Somewhere?
I cant feel it with someone?
Its always inanimate.
The non living.
The adventure.

..but what if a part of it was with a human?

Will i stop doing the things i love?
Is this where its okay to be selfish?
Should i fight?
